After the fourteenth became the general and queen, Nian Qianyao, who was about to be promoted to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, why did he secretly go back to Beijing to meet the Eight Masters without telling the fourth child?
The truth is that it is really because Nian Qianyao feels that the fourth child has no hope of winning the heir, so he plans to betray the fourth child and throw himself into the camp of the Eight Masters Party?
At the same time, before this, why did Nian Qianyao suddenly give Wu Sidao a jar of century-old wine, and why was he ruthlessly abused by his sister Nian Qiuyue when he returned to the fourth child?
Is there some underlying connection hidden in this?
What this article wants to uncover is the truth hidden behind these three mysteries.
There are many doubts
In the fifty-sixth year of Kangxi, the 60,000 troops who went to the northwest to quell the chaos were all wiped out, and after receiving the battle report, Mr. Kang decided:
As a result, a big drama of fighting for military power kicked off, and the nine sons also entered the final climax!
As soon as the news came out, Lao Ba immediately asserted:
"Whoever is the king of this great general, he is the successor of Huang Amma. ”
Just when the Eight Masters were testing each other because of the position of the general Wang, Wu Sidao, who had already seen through Kangxi's thoughts on the other side, persuaded the fourth child to dispel the heart of contention:
“...... Lord Wang, if you have this instrument, this time you will definitely put the overall situation of the imperial court first, and strive to ensure that the Fourteenth Master is the general, instead of fighting for this general!"
Subsequently, Wu Sidao put forward a proposal to use grain and grass to hold the military power hostage in response to the concerns in the heart of the fourth child.
After listening to Wu Sidao's words, the fourth child who learned the inside story immediately decided:
"Yes, let Lao Fourteen be the general king, and Nian Qianyao be the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. ”
However, just when the old fourteenth was successfully elected as the general king, and Nian Qianyao's promotion to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu also entered the process of going through the procedure, the fourth child unexpectedly learned that Nian Qianyao secretly returned to the capital without him.
At this point, the first suspicion arises!
Note that the fourth child first learned about Nian Qianyao's secret return to Beijing through Li Wei's secret letter, and Nian Qianyao also knew that Li Wei was the eyeliner that the fourth child planted beside him.
When Nian Qianyao was promoted to the governor of Sichuan, the fourth child accepted Wu Sidao's suggestion and decided to send Li Wei to monitor Nian Qianyao, so he personally directed a scene where Li Wei and Cui'er drilled into the woods.
And when Nian Qianyao said goodbye to the fourth child, he saw through the fourth child's careful thinking on the spot, so he took the initiative to accept this arrangement in a timely manner.
At the same time, on this basis, we also have to pay attention to a detail -
As soon as the fourth child received a secret letter from Li Wei, Gao Beyong hurriedly came to report the same news to the fourth child.
This shows that even without Li Wei's eyeliner, it is impossible for Nian Qianyao to hide the fourth child from secretly returning to Beijing!
That being the case, why does Nian Qianyao have to do such a thing of "paper can't hold the fire"?
Some people may say that this is because Nian Qianyao didn't want to hide it at all, but made up his mind to show favor and sincerity to the Eight Masters Party.
But the question arises again, even if Nian Qianyao has the heart to surrender, can the Eight Masters really accept Nian Qianyao?
In the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty", Nian Qianyao is the coated slave of the fourth family, and he has always been labeled as the "fourth". In this case, how could the Eight Masters accept a Nian Qianyao who is very likely to be a "traitor"?
And you must know that all dynasties and dynasties have treated people who are "ungrateful to the Lord" with disdain, after all, if you can betray the original master, you may also betray the current master. Therefore, most of the people who are treated are mainly based on exploitation, and rarely trust and entrust them with important tasks.
How can a person like Nian Qianyao, who is both sophisticated and thoughtful, not understand such a simple truth.
What the?
You say that maybe that's the case—
In the process of Nian Qianyao's promotion, the post of Sichuan Governor was recommended by the old eight, and this time the promotion of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu was ostensibly recommended by the old fourteen, which is likely to make Nian Qianyao have an illusion: the Eight Masters may have taken a fancy to his ability, or they want to weaken the power of the fourth child in disguise by winning him over, so they will favor him and repeatedly throw olive branches to him.
This possibility is not impossible, but you must know that what Nian Qianyao needs is to be reused, not to be used by the enemy!
When the eighth recommended him to be promoted to the post of governor of Sichuan for the first time, it was clear to anyone with a discerning eye that the eighth child had fallen into the well, and he wanted to take the opportunity to cut off the fourth child's right-hand man.
And Nian Qianyao couldn't see this.
The reason why he went to visit the eighth to express his gratitude afterwards was not that he wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the eighth master's party, but just to make a gesture to confuse the eighth and prevent the eighth from attacking him, and at the same time take the opportunity to get more benefits-
After all, the purpose of the eighth child is to divide the relationship between him and the fourth child through this routine. Once he believes it to be true, when the purpose of the eighth child is achieved, he will lose the value of use and be left aside by the old eight.
On the contrary, the more ambiguous he becomes, the eighth child needs to increase his efforts to win over if he wants to achieve his goal.
But this time, Lao Fourteen recommended him as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Nian Qianyao didn't think it was a pull for him.
The reason is very simple: at the critical juncture of the succession, this kind of sensitive position will only be given to the henchmen among the henchmen, and will never be used to win him over, thereby increasing the risk of being controlled by others.
Since his promotion this time was not the co-optation of the Eighth Master Party, and he took the initiative to show favor to the Eighth Master Party and did not get any substantial benefits, then why did he not hesitate to offend the fourth child to do this?
This can only show one point: Nian Qianyao must have other purposes in doing this!
Nian Qianyao's true purpose
Nian Qianyao knew that paper couldn't contain the fire, and he had to secretly go back to Beijing to see the truth about the Eight Masters, what was it?
In fact, this is a means used by Nian Qianyao to raise his price, and its purpose is directly aimed at the autumn moon of the year when he does not know what kind of identity he claims to be in the fourth master's mansion after raising the flag.
In order to reveal the real motive of Nian Qianyao for doing this, we must first clarify one thing: how does Nian Qianyao view his promotion to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and can he speculate that there is a deal between the fourth and the fourteenth?
If Nian Qianyao is replaced by Li Wei, maybe Li Wei really can't guess that there is a behind-the-scenes deal, but as a soldier with Nian Qianyao, he must be able to see the truth in this.
In all dynasties, all those who have led soldiers are aware of the importance of grain and grass to march and fight, which is why there is a conclusion that "the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first".
In the play, Wu Sidao deduced from this point that the 60,000 Northwest Army was defeated precisely because the old 14 in charge of the military department clamped down on the supply of grain and grass for the Northwest Army;
It is precisely because of this that Wu Sidao further deduced that for the sake of the great victory in the northwest, Old Man Kang is bound to let the old fourteenth be the general king. This is the follow-up to let Nian Qianyao serve as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.
Of course, Nian Qianyao may not be able to accurately guess that it was Wu Sidao's suggestion to make him the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, but he must know that if he can be the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, the fourth and the fourteenth are likely to have reached some kind of deal.
After all, if it weren't for this, the old fourteenth would never agree to let the fourth man serve as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu to be responsible for the supply of grain and grass for the northwest army, and once the old fourteenth objected to this matter, the old man Kang could only turn a blind eye and obey the old fourteen out of consideration for the overall situation.
When we are clear about the information that Nian Qianyao can deduce, at this time, it will be much easier for us to reveal the truth that Nian Qianyao went back to Beijing to meet the Eighth Master Party without telling the fourth child.
Why did Nian Qianyao know that he couldn't hide it from the fourth child, but he still had to do this kind of thing that was easy for the leader to misunderstand that he was going to betray?
It's because Nian Qianyao knows how important he is to the fourth child at this moment-
If the fourth child wants to limit the military power of the old fourteenth, he must take the position of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the only person who is qualified and capable of holding this position under the fourth child is him, the governor of Sichuan.
And once the fourth child can't use him to restrain the military power of the old fourteen, the fourth child has no hope of winning in the nine sons!
This is the reason why Nian Qianyao knew that the leak would make the leader unhappy, and he knew that he couldn't hide it from the leader at all, but he had to do it.
Because he knew that even if the leader became suspicious of him because of this, he could not do anything with him.
Even in order to prevent him from really falling into the arms of the Eight Masters, the leaders will inevitably find ways to win him over and tie him up to ensure that the next thing is foolproof.
And at such a critical moment, the fourth child will never use "empty promises" to draw cakes to Nian Qianyao, after all, Nian Qianyao is not a rookie in the workplace, and after mixing in the workplace for so long, the truth of "not seeing a rabbit and not scattering an eagle" has long been clear in his chest.
Therefore, if the fourth child wants to win over and bind Nian Qianyao, he can only focus on Nian Qiuyue's body, after all, the flag of the Nian family has also been raised, and the fourth child has no power to add officials to Nian Qianyao for the time being, and the thing that can tempt Nian Qianyao can only be to give Nian Qianyao some "dry shares"-
That is, he married Nian Qiuyue, so that the fourth child's plan to win the heir became the common cause of him and Nian Qianyao.
After all, only in this way can the fourth child be completely at ease with Nian Qianyao, and only in this way can Nian Qianyao be completely at ease.
Otherwise, even if the fourth child can come up with other ways to win over and tie up Nian Qianyao, Nian Qianyao may not dare to accept it, you must know that this kind of behavior of "taking advantage of the fire to rob" and "sitting on the ground to raise prices" for the leader is difficult to ensure that the leader will not hold a grudge and retaliate afterwards.
This is the truth behind Nian Qianyao going back to Beijing to see the Eight Masters without telling the fourth child.
And Wu Sidao guessed Nian Qianyao's true purpose on the day when the fourth child got the news that Nian Qianyao secretly returned to Beijing.
That day, the fourth child only finished reading Li Wei's secret letter, and the housekeeper Gao Beyong came to report:
"Fourth master, I don't know why Nian Qianyao suddenly came to Beijing and was running around...... Now it seems that I have gone to the Eighth Master Mansion again. ”
Listening to Gao Beyong's words, Wu Sidao's eyes became extremely complicated in an instant.
And the complexity in Wu Sidao's eyes was because he guessed Nian Qianyao's purpose from Gao Beyong's words.
Attention! There is an extremely crucial message in Gao Beiyong's words,
This shows that Nian Qianyao's move was deliberate, and his purpose was to raise his value and negotiate conditions with the fourth child in disguise. And following this line of thought, Wu Sidao immediately knew the final result of this matter.
Therefore, on that night, Wu Sidao and Nian Qiuyue would have this meaningful conversation-
Nian Qiuyue: "Mr. Wu, don't we really have that day?"
Wu Si said: "Qiuyue, you remember what I said, you will be the fourth master's person sooner or later." ”
Two major mysteries
During the period of the nine sons, there were two major mysteries about Nian Qianyao -
First, during Nian Qianyao's tenure as the governor of Sichuan, he found a jar of century-old wine, why did he have to give it to Wu Sidao?
First, when Nian Qianyao exterminated Jiangxia Town and returned to the fourth master, why did he go to visit Nian Qiuyue, not only did he eat the closed-door soup, but he was also scolded by Nian Qiuyue?
In fact, the key to solving these two mysteries is the truth about why Nian Qianyao returned to Beijing without the fourth child that we just got.
Let's take a look at the first mystery first, why Nian Qianyao had to give the jar of wine to Wu Sidao.
At the time of this incident, the Rehe hunting incident had ended, and it was at the time of the prince's reinstatement, during which a major event occurred in the Nian family.
When hunting in Rehe, thanks to the success of Wu Sidao's "bet on the topic", Hongli used a trick to "worship the Buddha across the mountain", which added a key weight to the success of the fourth child.
Afterwards, the fourth child used the autumn moon of the reward year to win over Wu Sidao in disguise, that is, at that time, the fourth child decided to raise the flag for the entire Nian family, from the inlaid white flag to the inlaid yellow flag.
Soon after, it happened that Nian Qianyao gave Wu Sidao a jar of century-old wine.
So does Nian Qianyao's move have any special meaning?
If before raising the flag, Nian Qianyao was happy to see Nian Qiuyue tying the knot with Wu Sidao, the popular man next to the fourth child, then after raising the flag, Nian Qianyao's ambition also swelled, and he began to hope that Nian Qiuyue and the fourth child would have some relationship.
In the play, after Wu Sidao received the wine from Nian Qianyao, an interesting thing happened in the Fourth Master's Mansion.
Knowing that there was this jar of wine, the thirteenth came to Wu Sidao:
"Mr. Wu, do you know what I'm doing today? I heard that you got a jar of wine that has been hidden for a hundred years, isn't it? Hurry up and give it to me and my fourth brother to taste, how about it?"
And as soon as he heard the words of the thirteenth child, the fourth child also pretended to be angry and said:
"It makes me angry when I talk about it. You said that Nian Qianyao, a minion, drilled a hole in Sichuan and got a jar of century-old wine, and when he brought it, he named him and gave it to Mr. Wu, it seems that I, the authentic master, should not be anymore. ”
Note that there are two special details in this -
These two special details all illustrate a problem: Nian Qianyao deliberately wanted the fourth and thirteenth children to know that he gave Wu Sidao a tempting jar of good wine.
The next development of this matter was that at the request of the thirteenth man, Wu Sidao had no choice but to take out this jar of wine to share with everyone.
And at this point, the purpose of Nian Qianyao's move is obvious-
Nian Qianyao just wanted to borrow this jar of wine to tell Wu Sidao, even if I hand over some things to you personally, you can't keep them.
And this is the real purpose of why Nian Qianyao gave Wu Sidao a jar of wine so vigorously!
As for whether Wu Sidao realized the deep meaning of this jar of wine at that time, it is not easy to say.
But what is clear is that it is precisely because of the foreshadowing of this jar of wine that when Nian Qianyao secretly returned to Beijing to meet the Eight Masters, Wu Sidao guessed that Nian Qianyao was talking to the fourth child about the conditions, and realized that Nian Qianyao's ultimate goal was to let the fourth child marry Nian Qiuyue.
At this time, in the matter of sending wine, we also have to pay attention to one point, although Wu Sidao may not have been clear about Nian Qianyao's purpose at that time, but as Nian Qianyao's sister-in-law, Nian Qiuyue is likely to be aware of Nian Qianyao's thoughts.
Therefore, when the thirteenth and fourth were discussing this jar of wine, Nian Qiuyue, who was standing aside, had a gloomy and indifferent face.
It is precisely because of this that Nian Qianyao, who came to return to the fourth child not long after, went to visit Nian Qiuyue, and he asked:
"Girl, what's wrong, who made you angry?"
Nian Qiuyue, who had already seen through Nian Qianyao's thoughts, would scold:
"Who is angry with me, what does it matter to you? Anyway, the flag of the family has also been raised, and your official has been promoted, leaving a daughter in the palace to ask for the master's good, the family points to this soaring prosperity, our family is really good!"
Based on the above analysis, it is not difficult for us to see that this passage of Nian Qiuyue is clearly accusing Nian Qianyao:
This is the truth of the second mystery, and it is also the reason why after the fourth child ascended the throne, Nian Qiuyue never asked her mother's family for money.
It is precisely for this reason that when she was canonized as the imperial concubine in the autumn of the year, she took out all her savings, but she could only take out 80 taels of silver......
